I ended up seeing the Lightning Seeds on Saturday. Mrs ccb and I had gone out for dinner and had forgotten that there was a free festival organised in our town centre. Anyhow, the Lightning Seeds were playing - a band that I used to love when I was 16/17 but hadn't listened to for ages.

Verdict: not the most demonstrative of live performances and probably a bit dated (couldn't help but think of TFI Friday), but they did have some tunes.

When I was 13 they were the closest thing to an indie band I listened to. I liked Sense, Jollification and the album they did after that (with the paper aeroplanes on the cover), but I don't think I could sit and listen to an album all the way through now.

Perfect, Pure and The Life of Riley were all cracking pop songs though. Might dig them out tonight.
